Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Horrible
Had horrible bedside manner and tried to tell my spouse they have No reason to have a feeding tube when the feeding tube was last hope for them. Never gave test results had to get them from a nurse. Then tried to say well staying in the hospital that they weren’t taking there medication. How do you not take medication in a hospital? Absolutely no help and have to get another opinion.

Dr. Odom is a remarkable professional and gentle physician; his kindness and sensitivity compliment his medical skills and seamless approach; that we are each valued human beings sharing our humanity; regardless, of status, education or any difference; other than we are each unique creatures. Dr. Odom is a highly experienced well-educated physician, offering forty some years as both physician and ongoing scholar in several specialized areas; within which his research in Digestive & Hepatic Disorders are well-documented. His immediate and kind bedside manner proves both comforting and reassuring to we patients. he listens intently, asks questions, answers and explains patiently so one never feels rushed. Too, I have heard and noted hospital nursing, doctors and auxillary staff express praise, respect and fondness toward Dr. Odom- including his wonderful and gracious office staff.

Dr. Odom is a very nice man, but I wouldn't recommend him for an urgent medical problem. You have to make an appointment to receive test results; you can't get them over the phone or electronically. I had to wait 30 minutes in my last appointment and he didn't even acknowledge or apologize for making me wait. When you have intestinal problems you want to feel a sense of urgency and convenience from your doctor. Dr. Odom is old school in the way he treats his patients.
